I've also been looking toward this season of Rosh
Hashana as a highly possible time for the Rapture. Only
one thing has caused me to wonder a bit - Dr. David Edward Owuor
was shown that when the Rapture takes place, he will be
conducting another of his meetings. And his next meeting
(Gnarp, Sweden) won't begin until September 30th. I
respect him so highly, even pondering the possibility that he
may well fit the role of "the Elijah who is to come before the
great and terrible Day of the Lord," even as John the Baptist
fit that role before the Lord's first appearing. His
message has been, consistently, one of Repentence, Holiness,
Preparing the Way of the Lord. And the integrity and
authenticity of those messages have been stamped "Approved" by
the works, and "greater works," of Jesus. Those born blind
see, those born crippled walk. And every manner of illness
and deformity have been cured by the power of God. His
mighty prophecies have 'hit the mark' every time.
I enjoyed Jean Stepnowski's letter of September 6th, and found
very interesting her information about all the "New Beginnings"
marked by Tishrei 1. I respect her knowledge, wisdom and
insight very much, so I was not doubting her work, but curious
to see what dates were put forth by the website, Hebrew
Calendar.com (hebcal.com). I found these items on their
home page: "Wednesday, September 7 = 8th of Elul.
Rosh Hashana 5772 begins at sundown on Wednesday 28, 2011."
If these dates are accurate ( and many of you, being far more
knowledgeable than I, use different calendar/dates), then the
two days of Rosh Hashana would include sunset Wed the 28th 'til
sunset the 29th, then from sunset the 29th 'til sunset the 30th,
meaning that Dr. Owuor's next meeting could fall within the
time-bracket of Rosh Hashana.
Jean wrote that one of the New Beginnings of Tishrei 1 might be
the end of the Pentecostal Gentile dispensation. And
Tishrei 1 would need to mark the first day of the Tribulation,
if it is going to fit the time-frame of 2011-2018, with the
Lunar tetrads and solar eclipses ("The moon will turn to blood,
and the sun become as sackcloth before the coming of the great
and terrible Day of the Lord") falling into place at the
"half-way mark," denoting the onset of the "Great" Tribulation,
at which time the remnant of God's Jewish chosen ones would flee
to Jordan, to be sheltered in Petra for 3 and a half years.
Not to mention all the many reports from you all, over time, of
having seen great destruction fall simultaneously with the
Rapture,or shortly thereafter, marking the beginning of the
Tribulation with, or near, the Departure.
As with every possibility offered here, I write my
disclaimer: If this season comes and goes, as so many have
- Well, we just dust ourselves off, set our faces and feet to go
right on following Jesus, knowing that THAT DAY will surely
come, and perhaps at a time that is just impossible to "figure
out." But there's one thing to be said to our credit - No
one can accuse us of being lukewarm!! And I'd rather
die still watching and waiting, than to give up the watch, or
grow careless, or have Him find me lukewarm when He does call us
upward. We love Him so much, and trust Him totally.
And I think, when it all comes down, that's all that really
matters. Ruthann Martin
